is my favourite season to dress for and now the weather has improved, I’m getting excited about all the new products in stores.
I have a lot of gingham in my wardrobe already, but after seeing these brown check shorts from M&S for just £19.50, I had to add them to my basket.
I’m also a sucker for a graphic T-shirt, and this espresso one from Reserved is just £12.99 – bargain.
Accessory-wise, I’m all about charm necklaces, fancy flats and bejewelled bags, so the high street really has me covered.
I’m also seeing a lot of people wearing more and this top from Aligne is ticking all the boxes.
Nobody’s Child also has lots of lovely new-in dresses ready for the warmer months ahead, and I love this orange strappy linen mini, which would match perfectly with an in my hand.

The glorious spring weather has heavily influenced my favourite new-in pieces this week – and there are so many stunning finds to choose from.
This bargain blouse from Very looks so expensive in real life.
The fabric looks and feels like silk, and the cutout detailing is so beautiful I can’t believe it's only £40 – it's gone straight into my basket.
I’m also besotted with this do-everything dress from COS that's great with sandals on holiday (or pumps in the UK), and with this khaki blazer from Mango worn over the top, that's a brand-new work outfit sorted.
has come up trumps this week, too – I love the swimwear brand Away That Day, but £225 for a swimsuit isn’t do-able for me, and New Look's for £30.99 is definitely more my bag.
Plus, this gorgeous raffia bag with ruffled detailing from New Look is a must-have too.
Now, get me on that plane!

I love the thrill of finding a new high-street piece that looks like it should be hanging in a designer boutique.
I've always had expensive taste, but unfortunately have a beer-money , so shopping the high street has always been my go-to.
There are some absolute belters on my spring wish list.
These pieces will revive all the old stuff I have already and inject some newness into my wardrobe.
This dress from COS will also be the perfect holiday-wardrobe item, teamed with strappy sandals and a woven clutch, plus these beautiful ceramic earrings.
I haven’t bought a new bag for about four years, so this spring I want to invest and Massimo Dutti is my go-to high-street store for bags.
In my opinion, its leather and suede bags look designer for a fifth of the price – this cute woven bag is under £150 and will work with everything.
can be so expensive, even on the high street, but step forward Portuguese online brand, Parfois.
The brand has great cropped suede jackets in four different colours for only £129 – I’m sold.
This chic suit from Mango is perfect eventwear for either the races or a special dinner, and the skinny belt gives it a real edge.
This COS swimsuit and & Other Stories sunglasses both look like they should be on Net-a-Porter – poolside chic personified.
